International Cleanup Day

Project AWARE's International Cleanup Day, in partnership with dive and resort operators around the world and the Ocean Conservancy, helps to collect over seven million pounds of trash and recyclables every year. Last September, an estimated 350,000 water-loving participants scoured shoreline and underwater environments in more than 100 countries and territories around the world. From Egypt to Ecuador, Australia to Canada and everywhere in between, volunteers removed harmful debris and collected data to help curtail pollution problems.

The International Cleanup Day this year is on September 20.

Project AWARE Foundation provides support and materials to help coordinators cleanup their local area. Visit www.projectaware.org to find out how you can get involved.
